{

maps

Starts a map creation.

The { function creates a map by pushing a mark onto the stack. This is a syntactic help to better present map constructions. This function behaves like [MARK].

{ is available since version 1.0.0.

{ 'key1' 42 'key2' 'value2' 'key3' 'value3' } MARK 'key1' 42 'key2' 'value2' 'key3' 'value3' } // Less readable. [ 'key1' 42 'key2' 'value2' 'key3' 'value3' } // A list start is also a mark. Far less readable.
